System Requirements#

This page lists the hardware, software, and platform requirements for running the Agentic Predictive Maintenance (APM) blueprint.

Hardware Platforms Used for Validation#

  • 4th and 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors

  • Intel® Arc™ GPU (A-series and B-series) with compatible Intel® Xeon® processor or Intel® Core™ processor

  • Intel® Core™ Ultra processors with integrated GPU (suitable for smaller pipelines and fallback mode)

Large Language Model (LLM) mode requires GPU support. The fallback mode (rule-based) runs on CPU alone.

Operating Systems Used for Validation#

  • Ubuntu OS version 22.04 LTS for CPU-only configurations

  • Ubuntu OS version 24.04 LTS when using discrete GPU hardware

  • See the Intel GPU driver documentation for specific kernel requirements per GPU model.

Software Requirements#

Software

Version

Docker Engine

24.0 or higher

Docker Compose tool

2.20 or higher

Python programming language

3.10 or higher (for data preparation only)

Compatibility Notes#

Known Limitations:

  • The LLM service offers Neural Processing Unit (NPU) inference as an experimental option, but the option is not validated for all model and configuration combinations.

  • Intel® Core™ Ultra processors Series 2 and 3 with integrated GPU can run the application but model selection significantly affects performance.

Validation#

Ensure Docker Engine and Docker Compose tool are installed and are running before following the Get Started section.
